[quote=Anonymous]"Causing" asthma and "triggering" asthma are two different things. My kid's asthma was likely caused by issues in pregnancy that lead him to be born at low birthweight with underdeveloped lungs, and reflux that caused him to aspirate and scar his lungs with stomach acid. His asthma is "triggered" by dust, sudden changes in temperature, smoke, and pollen. The article seems to be using those words as if they're interchangeable, which is ridiculous. High quality health care can absolutely make a difference in addressing the causes of asthma. In my child's case, early identification and aggressive treatment of his reflux probably made a huge difference in the severity of his asthma. Environmental changes can also make a huge difference in the prevalence and severity of asthma. There's a reason why asthma is so much more common in urban vs. rural environments.[/quote]
